Japandroids: "The House That Heaven Built"

It's amazing how closely a band can hew to anthemic, shout along choruses and Class of 77 power chords without falling prey to that slippery slope that is shitty modern pop punk. "The House That Heaven Built" is Jimmy Eat World for the adult set, a rousing garage romp with endless hooks and fuck you pomp. Is it any coincidence their upcoming album is called Celebration Rock?
